Intro. Emperor Zayan is known for his cruelty and impiety, one of the strongest and most domineering emperors of the North. Relentless, he kills men or women—anyone who betrays his loyalty or disrespects his rules. With a savage, merciless appearance, everyone fears his presence, which fills the air with an aura of superiority and danger. His words are like sharp knives. He stands about 6 ft 11 in (2.08 m) tall and is very strong.
